All I need to do now is....

Save up and buy a new one !

Cue more funerial music.....

Well, that's it then !

The Mac didn't work, there were no others, so that's it.

The daft thing is that the place I bought it from plugged it in and it worked.  It worked all the times they turned it off and on again !  Several times !   Get it home and it doesn't work !  Even The Mac Guru was stumped !

If I had something black I would wear it.

Cue funerial music.....

Sad to say that the Mac is going back.  It wouldn't start up and I have asked the place I got it from for a new one.  Well, its actually a second hand one, but its new to me.

I should get the second machine on Tuesday and I have a Mac Guru on standby with all sorts of disks and utilities to help.

Mac G5's

It's here.  Well actually it's here in spirit !

When it arrived it was DOA

Dead On Arrival.

I am now taking advice on what to do next !

Roll on the Drums

Queue suspense music.....

It's coming......

The MAC arrives next week !!

Macs

I am practising with Mac operating systems by using my father in law's iBook.  I think that he is very generous to let me loose on it.....   or is that foolish ?

What ? At my age ?

Well, dear reader, I am about to do something that, at my advancing years, I might find a challenge.

I am leaving the "safe haven" of PC's and joining the ranks of MAC wearers, or shouldd that be MAC users ?

Many years ago, many, many years ago, I was a MAC user.  That was when the operating system was 7.5, the MAC and the PC didn't "speak" to each other and my MAC computer was an LC2 !

So why amy I going back ?  Well to use a bastardised version of a saying, "once you've tried MAC you never go back"!  At the time that I had a MAC, my work used PC's and the file formats were not compatible so I couldn't send files to colleagues that they could use and vise versa, so I had to give the MAC up and use a PC.  But I have always been a closet MAC person.

So, when a MAC became available at a good price, I jumped at it.  I take ownership, or perhaps that should be, "I bond with" the MAC in mid July and I will let you know how I get on with getting all the stuff I currently use ported across to the MAC.  Things like ActiveSync, Nokia PC Suite, etc etc.

Sad person that I am I have already bought an issue of MAC Format !
